Regian Eersel (born 16 December 1992) is a Dutch-Surinamese kickboxer currently signed to ONE Championship. He is the current ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion.

As of March 2022, he was ranked the #1 welterweight in the world by Combat Press.[3] He has been continually ranked in the top 10 since March 2019.[4]

Background

Eersel was born in Paramaribo, Suriname and moved to the Netherlands with his family when he was four years old. At the age of 15, he started training at Sityodtong Gym in Amsterdam.[5] His nickname, The Immortal, was given to Eersel in this early amateur era. His teammates gave it to him, as he never used the break time between the rounds to sit and regain breath.[6]

As it was not easy to find competitors in the Netherlands after becoming a professional athlete in his weightclass, he tried his luck abroad. In Baku, Azerbaijan, Eersel took part in a K1-tournament, where he qualified for the finals. He did not win the finals, but the hunger for more had started.[6]

After this Eersel was invited for competitions in his country of birth Surinam, Russia (W5), Greece, Germany, Turkey (Mix Fight Gala), the US (Legacy and Lion Fight) and China (Wu Lin Feng, Glory of Heroes).[6]

Kickboxing career

Early career

Eersel made his Lion Fight debut against Jo Nattawut at Lion Fight 29 on May 27, 2016. He won the fight in the fifth round, with a head kick knockout.[7]

After defeating the two-weight Lion Fight champion, Eersel was given a chance to fight for the Super Middleweight title, with his opponent being Jake Purdy. The title bout took place at Lion Fight 33 on November 18, 2016. Eersel won the fight by a second round technical knockout.[8] He then fought Chen Yawei during Mix Fight Gala 20, on December 3, 2016, winning the fight by a first round-knockout.[9] Eersel made his first Lion Fight title defense against Dewitt Pratt at Lion Fight 34 on February 3, 2017. He won the fight by a knockout in the first round.[10]

Eersel took part in the Mix Fight Gala 78.5 kg tournament, which took place at Mix Fight Gala 21 on May 6, 2017. He beat Marco Pleschberger in the semi finals by a second-round technical knockout, and Sergej Braun in the finals by a first-round knockout to capture the tournament title.[11]

Regian made his second Lion Fight title defense against Matous Kohout at Lion Fight 38 on September 29, 2017. He won the fight by a fifth round KO.[12] His third title defense came during Lion Fight 50, when he defeated Joakim Hagg by a fifth round TKO.[13]

ONE Championship

Eersel made his ONE Championship debut against Brad Riddell at ONE Championship: Heroes of Honor on April 2018. Eersel won the fight by a unanimous decision.[14] Despite being contracted with ONE Championship, Eersel made his third Lion Fight title defense against Joakim Hagg at Lion Fight 50 on November 3, 2018. He won the fight by a fifth-round technical knockout.[15]

Eersel faced Anthony Njokuani at ONE Championship: Call to Greatness on February 22, 2019.[16] He won the fight by second-round knockout. The fight ended in some controversy, as Njokuani claimed an illegal elbow led to his stoppage loss.[17] Njokuani later appealed the decision.[18]

On May 17, 2019, he challenged Nieky Holzken for the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship at ONE Championship 96: Enter the Dragon on May 17, 2019.[19] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[20] Eersel made his first title defense in an immediate rematch with Holzken at ONE Championship: Dawn Of Valor on October 26, 2019.[21] He once again won the fight by unanimous decision.[22]

Eersel was booked to make his second title defense against Mustapha Haida at ONE Championship: Unbreakable.[23] However, Haida was forced to withdraw after sustaining an injury, leading to the cancellation of their bout. Regian Eersel was later scheduled to defend the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship against Islam Murtazaev at ONE Championship: Fists Of Fury 3 on March 19, 2021.[24] Murtazaev himself would later withdraw, for undisclosed reasons, and was replaced by Mustapha Haida.[25] Eersel successfully defended the title by unanimous decision.[26]

Eersel defended his title against Islam Murtazaev at ONE Championship: Winter Warriors on December 3, 2021.[27] He won the bout via split decision.[28]

Eersel is scheduled to make his fourth ONE lightweight title defense against Arian Sadikovic at ONE Championship: Eersel vs. Sadikovic on April 8, 2022.[29] Despite suffering an early knockdown, Eersel rallied back to win the following rounds and retain his title by unanimous decision. He was awarded a $50,000 bonus for winning the fight.[30]
